    Abstract : Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative coccobacillus of the Pasteurellaceae family. It is implicated in periodontitis, a common low-grade bacterial infection, but it can also cause non-oral infections. The main aim of this project was to identify and characterize in A. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vesicle-mediated and free soluble delivery of bacterial effector proteins by oral and systemic pathogens

    Abstract : Periodontitis, the primary cause of tooth-loss worldwide, is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium. It is associated with systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, pathogenic mechanisms of periodontitis-associated bacteria that may contribute to the CVD association are unclear. READ MORE
